* Fellowships for 2012 at the American Geographical Society Library *
Application deadline October 17, 2011
The American Geographical Society Library, University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries, welcomes applications for two short-term
fellowship programs:
*McColl Research Program fellowships.*
This is a short-term fellowship program available to individuals who
wish to communicate their geographical research results to a broad,
educated general audience. Awards of $3,300 for four-week fellowships
will be provided to support residencies for the purpose of conducting
research that makes direct use of the Library, and results in
publication in a mutually agreed outlet.
*Helen and John S. Best Research Fellowships.*
Stipends of $400 per week, for periods up to 4 weeks, will be awarded to
help support residencies for the purpose of conducting research that
makes direct use of the AGS Library.
The AGS Library is the former research library and map collection of the
American Geographical Society of New York and came to the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1978. With strengths in geography, cartography
and related historical topics, the AGS Library maintains a wide variety
of hard to find resources including books, archives, photos, maps,
atlases, globes, data and an extensive serial collection. In addition,
researchers benefit from access to the UWM Libraries print and online
collections during their residency. Not all AGS Library materials are
listed in the online catalog, but finding aids and professional staff
are available to assist.
More information on the AGS Library is available at the website:
